Many women with prestigious careers (Corporate executives, doctors, consultants, lawyers, business women, engineers, politicians) come to EYAHT to find meaning and discover the greatness of the Jewish Woman

Under the leadership of Rebbetzin Denah Weinberg, women spend anywhere from several days to several years pursuing greatness

Floor Dedication Opportunities:

Level 1 Nefesh: Breath of Life - Physical and Material Sustenance $360,000

Page 7: EYAHT New Building Proposal

Nefesh, the lowest level of consciousness, is awareness of the physical body and the physical world. It is eating and moving, the beating of the heart and everything that tells us we are alive. On the Nefesh level of the building, the lowest floor, you’ll find the areas of the site that stimulate our aliveness, those that support and protect the physical well-being of the students and staff.

The Grand Banquet Hall and main dining room and kitchen areas comfortably accommodate 150 women, with separate kitchens for meat and dairy. There is a warm, comfortable suite for a Shabbos visitor complete with a full bath. Our Sages tell us to guard our health, made easier in the gym with state-of-the-art equipment and machines.

Level 2 Ruach: Wind, Spirit – Love$400,000

The primary expression of Ruach is in the emotions. The Talmudic sages refer to "the toil of the heart," through which one comes to love G-d with all one's heart. Like the winds, one’s Ruach, i.e., one’s emotions, come and go and change constantly. The Ruach level of the building and entrance floor, where all will come and go, is designed to inspire feelings of awe and to excite a desire to learn Torah in all who enter.

As you pass through the grand doorway into the grand entrance lobby and lounge, you are greeted by a beautiful handcrafted, custom-designed wall honoring Women of Valor. This beautiful wall will be the focal point of EYAHT'S main entrance. This floor’s main feature is the state-of-the-art lecture hall where minds are stimulated, questions are asked and where priceless Torah wisdom is internalized and passed on to generations of Jewish women. 

Level 3 Neshamah: Soul – Gratitude$360,000

Page 8: EYAHT New Building Proposal

The Neshamah is one’s Higher Self and corresponds to the realm of the mind. It is the level of clarity and intellectual analysis. Here the heart truly wants to love G-d, "with all of one’s soul." The Neshamah level is where the students open their minds and hearts to be filled with the truths of the Torah.

On this floor you’ll find four classrooms, each one a bright and airy space in which teachers and students will share ideas, concepts, and wisdom. The terraces off the classrooms let students step at will into the glorious air of Jerusalem, air our Sages tell us makes one wise.

Levels 4 and 5 Chayah 1 and Chayah 2: Living Force – Creativity $200,000 Each

Chayah is called loving G-d, "with all one's being.” There is no self-seeking.  It is knowledge of the absolute truth of things, merging with the holiness above and transforming. The Chayah levels of the EYAHT building are the ones where the students will dream of the possibility of knowing the truth of G-d.

The EYAHT building has two floors of Student Dorms with eight dorms per floor and a kitchenette, dining area, and lounge on each floor. Each has its own character and comfort, making students feel at home in Jerusalem. In the student lounge, students can exchange ideas, ask questions, create bonds, and share their excitement for Torah.

Level 6 Yechidah: Singular Soul – Reach for the Stars Kest Family Rooftop Terrace $200,000 DEDICATED

Yechidah corresponds to the essence of the soul and its return to G-d. It is the highest level of consciousness. The Yechidah level of the building is at the top, on the roof and open to G-d’s light.

All who stand on this magnificent rooftop terrace with its panoramic, 360-degree view of Jerusalem will be roused with the desire for greatness, for connection to G-d. The rooftop level is accessible for outdoor programming, exercising, and relaxing. A small rooftop kitchen will enhance the students, staff, and visitors’ enjoyment of the rooftop programming.
